Question
Which of the following is used in the preparation of Roquefort cheese?
Answer: Option B
:
B
Fungi are used in cheese making.Fungi usually produce toxins that are harmful for consumption. But,not only is Blue cheese safe for our consumption but also healthy. This is because, Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium glaucum which are the moulds used for Bluecheese, cannot produce these toxins in cheese. The combination of acidity, salinity, moisture, density, temperature and oxygen flow, creates an environment that is far outside thetoxin production range for these moulds.
